Please proceed with caution, however: this is about Sunday night’s episode on the BBC—if you’re watching in the U.S. on PBS, this episode is still about a month out—so,…

Last year, a movie called Operator was released. Or perhaps it was just made on a dare and not distributed, as I had not heard of it until a few minutes before beginning this post. It is about a 911 operator with a confusing accent (Mischa Barton) who gets caught up in an explosive game of dumb cat and dumber mouse…

I don’t know, man. Don’t ask me why the chicken is wearing blue pants. Don’t ask me where the chicken even got his blue pants.

An unidentified woman has been cited in Everett, Washington after a concerned citizen called 911, terrified that the woman was rolling along the highway with an unrestrained child on her lap.

On Friday, the Michigan judge who ordered three children to juvenile detention for refusing to see their father reversed her decision. In late June, Judge Lisa Gorcyca of Oakland County held three children, aged 9, 10, and 15 in civil contempt, likening them to “Charlie Manson and the cult that he has.” Gorcyca told…
